I believe a big part of the purpose of bjj in the army is that it is one of the few arts that allows you to spar full on, full resistance with minimal injury. For that reason it's great for building tenacity and fighting will without sending people to the hospital regularly.
Also if being on your back is death, the people most qualified to stay off their back and stay off the ground are grapplers.
